We are seeking dedicated volunteers to support our new Saturday feeding program, an expansion of our Tuesday Soup Kitchen. Starting in April 2025, we plan to serve approximately 100 guests each Saturday and need help in various roles, including cooking, serving, greeting guests, setting up, and cleaning. Whether you can assist weekly or bi-weekly, your time and effort will make a meaningful impact in our community. We warmly welcome volunteers of all nationalities and religious affiliations to join us in this meaningful mission.

Mission Statement

At Grace Church, rooted in a rich history since 1702, we are dedicated to embodying God's love and grace. Our mission is to serve our community with compassion through our diverse ministries and outreach programs, including our soup kitchen, while fostering spiritual growth and unity. We strive to be a welcoming and transformative presence, offering hope, support, and connection to all who seek God's love.

Description

Grace Church has been serving the community through its Soup Kitchen since 1991, providing weekly hot, nutritious meals to address food insecurity among struggling families, the homeless, and the afflicted. Founded by compassionate parishioners, the ministry has grown from serving one meal a week to over 180 meals every Tuesday, with special meals on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Entirely funded by donations and staffed by dedicated volunteers, the Soup Kitchen embodies the love of Christ through generosity and care, and we now seek to expand this vital service to Saturdays to better meet the needs of our community.
